I shook Pat Robertsons hand once, I got a very creepy feeling afterwards.
I hate uncovered foam (like the kind used for furniture) I can barely look at it without feeling nauseous and if someone needed me to touch it I would probably cry.
I've peeked my head into the oval office and sat in the chairs of the press room (is that what it's called?).
When I was about 10 I wrote a letter to the major trekking him the state of one of the local fountains/ponds was really sad. He listened and had it cleaned up and the park beautified.

We were in DC on our way home or to Va Beach and we got off the beaten path and ended up at the side entrance to the White House darn near walked right up. It was soooo weird. Pre 9/11 etc
Oh, god. I know all the words to Kid Rocks Bawitdaba and Cowboy. Learned drunk and can still do sober and drunk.
Ooo, ooo, I know all the words to The Bad Touch. I was pretty straightlaced in college and I absolutely shocked my friend when she was driving with me in my car once and I recited the entire thing. (angel)
The random song I can still rap is the Pokérap, with all 150 original Pokémon. The fact that I had it memorized in the first place is probably a sign of my youth haha.
My best Christmas day ever involved swimming with dolphins in the wild.
I have been to the Arctic Ocean.
In middle school we had a school trip to DC and the state senator with whom we had an appointment to meet canceled on us to go golfing. I refused ever to vote for him.
I have two middle names and two last names. My social security card is two lines.
Both my maternal and paternal grandmothers had the same unique first name. It was passed on to me.
I've cussed and yelled at WBC more times than I can count. I once did it out of the front seat of our church van during a youth outing. They showed up a few weeks later to picket our church and the deacons tried to fight them.
My first kiss was in the church basement with a guy I had just met that day. I was 15.

My family tree traces back to Henry Beaufort, illegitimate son of John of Gaunt. So one of my grandfathers was the bastard son of English royalty. I'm practically a princess.
I shared a modeling agent with Eva Longoria when she was little more than a pageant queen hoping to make it big in L.A. I was sixteen and a size nothing and she still seemed impossibly tiny to me. She always wore these nicely tailored little black pant suits and had perfect hair.
I can't find my maternal great grandparents in genealogy searches but I can trace my paternal ancestors back to a town that was settled within a few years of the Mayflower crossing.

you and me baby aint nothing but mammals...................
I've only been to one concert in my life. Rob Base. You know, it takes two to make a thing go right?
Personally, I don't think this counts. It was a Spring Break concert in 1998 and I was working at the damned thing as a runway model. It was the week of St Patricks and everyone had to wear green clothes. They picked out this cute outfit for me and then it got hijacked by some trick who looked awful in it. But not as awful as I looked in the shapeless shift I ended up wearing instead. They put green spray paint in my hair, green makeup, and I walked the runway throwing Lucky Charms into the audience. When I got home and took a shower, there was a sludge of green paint and glitter in the bottom of the tub.
I was in the background during filming of Extreme Makeover Home Edition. They spent several hours filming on location at my job and they just stuck me in as a background person. My employer gave a bunch of stuff to the homeowner too. When the episode aired, all of our footage was cut and we didn't even get a thank you in the credits. Our PR person was majorly pissed.
I've mentioned this one before, but I once accurately predicted the birth of a calf at the State Fair within 2 hours.
Since there are so many hockey fans here: I was briefly involved with a professional hockey player while I was in college. It was fairly scandalous for a couple of reasons.
Want to know more!
Why it was scandalous: I was 19 and he was 32 at the time. And he was married. Which I, as a naive 19 year old, did not know at the time.
Apparently, he is fairly well known among Red Wings fans, although he was not a Red Wing at the time I knew him. One more (sad) clue: he died last year after falling down the stairs in his house.
One more: I was in a Christian band b/w the ages of 9-12. We performed at churches, festivals, and even at a Kentucky governor's inauguration. And we released a tape which sold about 500 copies. I am now a pretty ardent atheist.

I assume it was before he started looking like a mayor of Toronto.
I once spent an entire summer making up a dance to "Baby Got Back."
I can't dance for shit but somehow, in high school, I ended up coaching a 6th grade drill team. Looking back, some of the dance I made up was inappropriate for 16 year olds, let alone 11 year olds.

Abbie Hoffman's daughter was a very good friend of mine in law school. She was fully awesome.
In my First Amendment rights class, she usually sat on my left, and Mama Cass' sister sat on my right. I felt like I was amidst hippie royalty two days a week!

You canNOT be serious. I know who you're talking about! I LOVED HIM!! Like, when everyone loved the captain, I LOVED HIM. I had every newspaper clipping that he was in.
"Not gonna lie; I kind of keep expecting you to post one day that you threw down on someone who clearly had no idea that today was NOT THEIR DAY." ~dontcallmeshirley
This is more about my husband than me but he apparently met Michael Hutchence or was at the same party or something. My six foot six husband said that man skeeved him out something awful. He said the dude was the only person he ever felt that weird around.
He also said he smoked pot on the Cash Money Millionaire's tour bus back when no one gave a shit about Lil Wayne.

I have a hockey random that probably only Velar Fricative will appreciate.
When Sergei Nemchinov played for the Rangers, he had a cat that was quite vocal and was keeping him and his apartment neighbors up all night. I played foster mom to his cat for 2 seasons, including the 94 Stanley Cup win. You're welcome for that.
